Verse 1:
Cm          Ab
 I left you here
          Eb             Bb
Heard you keep the extra closet empty
Cm            Ab
 In case this year
       Eb                    Bb
I come back and stay through all my twenties
Cm         Ab
 What if I won't
       Eb            Bb
How am I supposed to put that gently?
Cm            Ab
 And down the road
         Eb            Bb            Cm  Eb Ab Bb
You will love me until you resent me, mmm

Verse 2:
Cm            Ab
 I've had the thought
         Eb                  Bb
Tried to work it out through anxious pacin'
Cm           Ab
 What if I'm not
          Eb                Bb
Worth the time and breath I know you're savin'?
Cm          Ab
 But it's a lot
        Eb              Bb
All the shine of half a decade fadin'
Cm         Ab
 The whole facade
          Eb                   Bb          Cm  Eb Ab Bb
Seemed to fall apart, but it's complicated, mmm

Chorus:
Eb                            Ab
 And part of me wants to walk away 'til you really listen
Eb                           Fm
 I hate to look at your face and know that we're feelin' different
Eb                 Ab
 'Cause part of me wants you back, but
Eb               Fm
 I know it won't work like that, huh
Eb                           Ab
 Why won't you try movin' on for once? That might make it easy
Eb                           Fm
 I know we cut all the ties, but you're never really leavin'
Eb              Ab
 And part of me wants you back, but
Eb               Fm                  Eb Ab
 I know it won't work like that, huh
Eb
 I know it won't work like that

Verse 3:
Cm        Ab
I'll open up
             Eb                  Bb
And thinkin' everythin' you wish I wasn't
Cm           Ab
The call was tough
          Eb                Bb
But you're better off, I'm bein' honest
Cm            Ab
So, won't you stop
        Eb              Bb
Holdin' out for me when I don't want it?
Cm              Ab
Just brush me off
                Eb                     Bb
'Cause I'm your ghost right now, your house is haunted

Chorus:
Eb                            Ab
 And part of me wants to walk away 'til you really listen
Eb                           Fm
 I hate to look at your face and know that we're feelin' different

Eb               Fm
 I know it won't work like that, huh

 I know we cut all the ties, but you're never really leavin'
Eb              Ab                  Eb
 And part of me wants you back, but

I know it won't work like that, huh -Oh-oh-oh-
                Fm                Eb Ab     Eb

I know it won't work like that, huh
